KOEB Meeting: 11/03/08 -- RIP, Toot Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Is everybody ready for the big day???

[bunny planet]

1. Patsy!!!

Can you believe it's almost here. I can hardly breath.

So sad about Obama's grandmother not being here to see him the President Elect. I hope she was well enough at the end to know how good it looks for him to win.

[Patsy Stone]

2. Is it really possible?

I swore there were days I thought it would never come.

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

5. 4 years that you and I and all the others in the clubhouse (even before there was a clubhouse)

have been waiting and supporting each other through this unbelievably horrendous second Boosh Jr. term. It's felt like a lifetime.

[Patsy Stone]

18. I was so much younger then

I want the last eight years back!

[bunny planet]

24. Me too.

[bunny planet]

3. Angry old man alert.

I can't wait until I don't have to listen to this ugly McCain campaign crap anymore. Please, let it be called for Obama by 9pm tomorrow.

[Patsy Stone]

8. I think it will be.

It'll be essentially over by the time it reaches Missouri.

[bleever]

4. Here comes the sun.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

9. God I hope so.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Ah...

There are Nate's Super Genius glasses.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

15. I always feel better after Nate is on.

He's so geeky and so positive for Obama's chances consistently.

[Botany]

6. Strong men cry

[bleever]

10. My dad called me all worried about Ohio.

He heard lala on Thom Hartmann, and was freaking out. I had to figure out a way to let him know just what it means that Botany says that it's under control.

[Botany]

16. Let me say two things

Botany is honored to be a small part of what is going to be done .....

1) Obama's team is scary good ... double & triple back ups w/ real time data
feed back .... and things i can't talk about .... trust me the Calvary is real
and read to ride.

[Berry Cool]

20. I think you mean the "cavalry."

:rofl: We don't want to nail anyone to a cross here!

Hmm. So now David Gregory is "anchoring" Election Night coverage and Keith and Tweety are "hosting" it. Interesting language, eh? Sounds like they were forced to backpedal a bit at MSNBC on their plans to demote those guys.

[Berry Cool]

7. You bet I am. I'm just sad Toot didn't make it.

:hi: I am sorry, I have to be catch-as-catch can tonight because the web feed is not working so I have to watch Keith in the living room.

How come he looks more like the Ben Affleck parody than like real Keith tonight?

He has a pallor, too, that makes him look older.

[Patsy Stone]

11. He's a nervous as I am.

He just had Howard try and talk him down. :)

[bleever]

13. What's that blue thing under Georgia?

:shrug:

:7

[Patsy Stone]

14. It rings a bell...

But I can't quite place it.

[ralps]

17. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Happy Election Eve, ralps and Crook!

[ralps]

21. Awwww Great Graphic! Thanks for posting that Patsy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

23. How cute!

Just saw my first Kucinich ad. Pretty funny--it's almost all old boxing footage. "Kucinich is always fighting for the people!"

(P.S. This has been his theme since the '70s)

[bunny planet]

22. Wowie wow wow, what Keith is planning in the campaign comment sounds

brilliant and simple. Just pretend Obama had said some of the clueless, insane and mean-spirited things that McCain has, and see how we'd feel about him, and more importantly how the reprehensible media would have skewered him, far worse than they've bothered McCain for saying those things. Republican and media hypocrisy and double standard express knows know bounds. Good on Keith for exposing it tonight.

[bunny planet]

25. Oh my Gawd, look away

Warn a person before you put the Pillsbury Roveboy up there Keith.

[GigiMommy]

26. HI! I VOTED TODAY!!!!!!

...in memory of my Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Father and all of my relatives that I remember as a child who aren't here now. :hi: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

27. Yay!!!

:bounce:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

29. Sorry, Keith, but I think Fred Armisen's Richard Wolffe is just as bad as Ben Affleck's Keith.

But I will take your saying "I nearly wetted my pants" as a shout-out to me because of what I said about you last week. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

34. I wish it had been funnier.

I appreciated the impression Ben did, and the Special Comment about the cat and the camera angles was very funny, but Richard Wolffe is never complimentary of McCain, and Keith never disagrees with him, so... not really funny. There needs to be a kernel of truth, and in that case, there was none.

[Berry Cool]

38. Exactly. There was a funny moment here or there, but otherwise it was more of an

Olbermann Watch parody of Keith than the real Keith. It's the way they imagine him to be: hysterical, loony, intolerant of other opinions.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Do you think Ben didn't sit on the jacket tails on purpose?

:)

[Berry Cool]

43. Now THAT was funny!!!

Looking back, one of the best things was how they replaced the images of Keith in the opening titles with images of Affleck as Keith. His impression sounded more like John Houseman on "The Paper Chase" than it did Keith!

[WolverineDG]

58. Did you yell at him?

:hi: ONE MORE DAY!! ONE MORE FUCKING DAY & BUSH IS OUTTAHERE!!! :woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo:

dg

[bleever]

33. Wahoo!

Here's to everyone who built the road that brought us here!

:toast:

[bunny planet]

28. There are no reasonable explanations for McCain winning.

They just needed a plausible cover story for stealing, like the values voters in '04, but it had to be close to get away with that, and it ain't, close that is.

I hope we are going to be vigilant about the Senate and house races tomorrow too, while we are making sure the Presidential votes are all counted.

Gee, the State Board that Palin appointed herself found her not guilty of violating the ethics laws, quelle surprise.

[Berry Cool]

31. I have my champagne chilling already.

I can't wait to pop it tomorrow night for an Obama win, Obama winning Ohio, and a Dem Congress.

[bunny planet]

36. Please don't talk about the champagne yet.

I bought bottles of champagne the night before Jr. stole Ohio. This time, I buy the champagne only after McCain's concession speech.

[ralps]

30. Frell!! MkSame & the repukes are pulling out all the stops! The Rev. Wright ad just

played during my Countdown!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[bunny planet]

32. Ecch, I just saw the Reverend Wright ad.

I can't help it, I sure wish some 527 of ours had run an ad about Todd Palin, Goody Sarah and the Alaskan Independence Party. McCain camp knew there would be one, that's why they saved the Rev Wright ad for the last night.

[Patsy Stone]

35. Yep, it's a national buy.

:puke:

[Berry Cool]

37. "I knew there was somethin' about that Joe guy that don't sit right with me!"

:rofl: Keith's little tribute to what Stewie said to Lois about his character Bob Grossbeard on Family Guy!

[Patsy Stone]

39. Obama's Grandmother's Absentee Ballot will be Counted by State of Hawaii

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7734276&mesg_id=7734276

[bunny planet]

41. I actually think this Ben Affleck bit is great, but what's with the British accent

I have to go eat din din with the family now. My daughter is home from school to vote tomorrow and we are celebrating!!!!

[Berry Cool]

45. Hurray! Have fun!

Yeah, it's like I said, it's John Houseman, not Keith.

We just got the Paul Simon ad. Guess it was national.

[RepublicanElephant]

42. seems like affleck was offering a little apology on that signed cue card.

"i didn't write this"

[Patsy Stone]

44. Yep

He also knew it wasn't very funny.

:Hi:

[Berry Cool]

52. What's more, I don't think Keith thought it was funny either.

It would be impolitic of him to say bad things about it, though; he's admitting as much.

Sarah Palin getting pranked by two guys from Montreal? Now THAT's funny.

Oh man, can she get any dumber...

[Patsy Stone]

53. "Marcel, with the bread under his arm."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

46. Anyone else have the Paul Simon Obama ad?

I had never seen it. Very good.

[GigiMommy]

47. Just saw it too!!

Very poignant.

[RepublicanElephant]

49. :hi: here it is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbuLchsauKs

:)

[Patsy Stone]

56. Thanks!

Paul Simon... :loveya:

[ralps]

48. Today's worst person in the world is Shirley Nagel!!! For posting a sign saying

no Treats for Obama Supporters!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wtf:

[GigiMommy]

55. Grosse Pointe is a very affluent suburb next to Detroit BUT

I saw Obama signs there sprinkled among McCain's.

[Patsy Stone]

50. "Oh, Billy... after five years of this do I really have to give you the answer?"

"Never heard of him."

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

51. Yeah! Keith just gave a shout out to where my brother works.

And yes, that woman IS a jerk.

[Berry Cool]

54. Good! She deserved WPITW, and Keith is right.

She deserved it regardless of who she denied her candy to!

[Berry Cool]

57. That Campaign Comment had GREAT video.

And so true!

Expect that one to go viral!

See you all here tomorrow night, "my friends." Back and forth, anyway. But I sure wish the online feed was working.
